Nokia began construction work at its new manufacturing facility for mobile devices in Cluj county, in Romania. Nokia anticipates investing an estimated EUR 60 million in the Cluj plant, which will be the company"s 11th mobile device production facility globally.

Production is expected to begin in the first half of 2008. Nokia foresees ramping up the factory gradually and will recruit approximately 500 employees there by the end of 2007.

The decision to establish a new factory in Romania is a reflection of Nokia"s strong volume growth globally, as well as the increasing demand for mobile devices in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

In 2006, Nokia completed expansions at its Reynosa plant in Mexico and its Dongguan plant in China, and ramped up production at the Chennai plant in India. In Europe, Nokia already has production facilities in Bochum in Germany, Komarom in Hungary and Salo in Finland.
